Spiritual Virtue & Significance

“The special prayer of Jamkaran comprises two rakats of Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid and two rakats dedicated to Imam-e-Zamana (A.T.F.S.) where Ayah "Iyyaka Na’budu wa Iyyaka Nasta’een" is repeated 100 times. Traditions note that praying here carries immense spiritual rewards.”

Historical Background

Constructed originally in 373 AH (984 CE) by Sheikh Hassan ibn Muthlih Jamkarani following an encounter documented by classical scholars including Allamah Majlisi and Sheikh Saduq. Over centuries, the mosque complex has been expanded into magnificent turquoise-domed prayer courtyards accommodating massive international gatherings.
